**Coronel Pringles** (Spanish: [\[koɾoˈnel ˈpɾiŋgles\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Spanish)) is a city in the south of the [Buenos Aires Province](/source/Buenos_Aires_Province) in [Argentina](/source/Argentina), situated near the mountains of Pillahuincó. It is the government seat of the [Coronel Pringles Partido](/source/Coronel_Pringles_Partido).

In 1882, the provincial government of [Buenos Aires](/source/Buenos_Aires_Province) created the *[partido](/source/Partidos_of_Buenos_Aires)* ("civil parish") of [Coronel Pringles](/source/Coronel_Pringles_Partido) by dividing the territory of Tres Arroyos into the partidos of [Coronel Suárez](/source/Coronel_Su%C3%A1rez_Partido), [Tres Arroyos](/source/Tres_Arroyos_Partido) and Coronel Pringles. The latter, and its main town, were named after [Coronel Juan Pascual Pringles](/source/Juan_Pascual_Pringles), a member of a grenadiers regiment of [General San Martín](/source/Jos%C3%A9_de_San_Mart%C3%ADn)'s army that fought in the wars of independence against the Spanish.

Located a distance of 120 km (75 mi) from [Bahía Blanca](/source/Bah%C3%ADa_Blanca) and 518 km (322 mi) from [Buenos Aires](/source/Buenos_Aires), Pringles has a population of around 23,794 inhabitants (2001). Its main economic activities are agriculture, and sheep and cattle raising.

## History

The area now part of Coronel Pringles sat on lands belonging to the [Tehuelche people](/source/Tehuelche_people) prior to colonization by the Spanish. In 1858, the land now making up the partido began to be leased to settlers. By the late 1870s, most resistance from the natives of the region had been quashed, and as a result, twelve villages, including Coronel Pringles, were to be constructed in the region. The town was founded by Don Juan Pablo Cabrera, a settler who owned land in the region.[1] Coronel Pringles was settled by large numbers of [Italian](/source/Italy), [French](/source/France) and [Spanish](/source/Spain) immigrants.[2] In 1934, Coronel Pringles was incorporated as a city.[3]
